Acne is one of the most common skin issues around the world and there are numerous ways to tackle with this problem. In some cases, acne does not cause any damage and goes away without any proper treatment. For others, it can be a big hassle and it not affects the appearance of a person in form of bumps and pimples but also by leaving scarring.

Laser Acne treatment in dubai and acne scar removal are highly effective treatment options for such people. They are able to remove acne and get rid of the scarring quite effectively. In the following lines, we shall learn some important information about acne treatment with laser that every patient should know prior to undergoing the treatment.

How does it correct acne?

Laser acne treatment works by unclogging the pores and allowing skin generation in the affected area. The bacteria that is causing the acne also is taken to task. With healthier skin, fewer oils are produced and the appearance of acne lessens.

How does it work for acne scars?

The acne scars can be corrected with the help of the laser to the maximum possible extent. Laser resurfaces the top damaged layer of the skin and allows healthier skin to come up on top. At the same time, the levels of elastin and collagen production are both raised which helps the skin in improving the health of the skin in general.

Is the procedure painful?

The treatment is more or less pain free. The general comparison made is to the same level of discomfort that is caused by snapping of a light rubber band against the skin. To numb down the pain, topical anesthetics may be applied. Some practitioners also give bursts of cool air during the treatment to further comfort the patient.

How much time should be given between sessions?

The gap generally given between two sessions is four weeks. The reason is that the skin can fully recover from the effects of the previous treatment. This can, however, vary with the extent of the condition and the intensity of the laser employed.

How many sessions are needed?

There is no fixed rule as to how many sessions are needed in order to correct acne or acne scarring with laser treatment. Generally five to six sessions are needed for the desired outcome to be achieved. This number can most certainly go up and down depending upon the needs of the given individual.

Does laser treatment actually work?

Laser treatments are one of the most effective options for many skin conditions. For acne, they are fairly effective as they attack the factors that cause acne in the first place. In case of acne scarring, the treatment offers results second to none. The results from a laser acne scar removal are often compared with those achieved via surgical excision of scars. Laser treatment though does not have the same downtime or the level of invasiveness which makes it so much better.

What are the side effects with laser acne treatment?

Laser acne treatment has very few side effects. It generally causes tenderness to touch in the treated area along with itching, swelling and redness. These effects subside within a day or two on their own. There is no need to treat for them. In rare cases, temporary bruising in the treated areas is also experienced.

Photosensitivity is developed after the treatment and the period for which it remains can be from a few days to a couple of weeks. Avoid the sun during this period to protect your skin against the harmful effects of the UV rays. When going out during the day, apply sunscreen with a high SPF and wear clothing that fully cover the body. Donning a large floppy hat also helps in protecting the skin.

Do scars completely disappear?

In most cases, they do go away completely. However, in some cases, the appearance of the scars is greatly reduced but they can be observed by the keen eye. Such scars cannot be fully removed even with surgical excision.

Excellent service

Dr Cagatay Sezgin and staff are very professional, friendly and courteous. I found the whole experience to be most satisfactory. Everybody involved from the drivers to Interpreters to the Dr. and his lovely staff couldn't do enough to make me comfortable and relaxed.

Nice and Friendly

Like most teenagers, I got a tattoo in my teens that I absolutely hated when I reached my 30’s. I thought I would have to live with it until I came across laser tattoo removal. My tattoo is a thing of the past now.

Surgeon Consultation

I never believed in the power of laser until I tried every possible home remedy for acne scars but it didn’t work. Finally, laser rescued me and I got my clear skin back.

Very professional

I had burn scars on my arm from my childhood. I always use to cover them with concealer and long sleeved tops until I found laser scar removal. Amazing team and dermatologists..
